Overview

Mark F. Newman is affiliated with Duke University in the United States. Their research spans diverse areas within medicine, with a focus on molecular biology, pharmacology, ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, as well as critical care and intensive care medicine.

The main topics of their work include plant and fungal species descriptions, research on ginger and the Zingiberaceae family, broader plant and animal studies, plant diversity and evolution, intensive care unit cognitive disorders, cardiac, anesthesia and surgical outcomes, and anesthesia and neurotoxicity research.

The scientist has contributed to several peer-reviewed publications, with frequent appearances in these venues:

  • JAMA Psychiatry (8 publications)
  • JAMA Cardiology (7 publications)
  • Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution (3 publications)
  • Fertility and Sterility (3 publications)
  • Kew Bulletin (2 publications)

Notable recent papers include:

  • New Guinea has the world's richest island flora, 2020, Nature
  • Himalayan orogeny and monsoon intensification explain species diversification in an endemic ginger (Hedychium: Zingiberaceae) from the Indo-Malayan Realm, 2022, Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution
  • Perioperative neurocognitive and functional neuroimaging trajectories in older APOE4 carriers compared with non-carriers: secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study, 2021, British Journal of Anaesthesia
  • Two new species of Eriocaulon (Eriocaulaceae) from Laos, 2020, Kew Bulletin
  • Ancient hybridization in Curcuma (Zingiberaceae)-Accelerator or brake in lineage diversifications?, 2023, The Plant Journal

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Mark F. Newman encompass:

  • Phil Fontanarosa
  • Annette Flanagin
  • Tracy Frey
  • Iris Lo
  • Juliet Orellana

Their work covers detailed studies of molecular biology within medical contexts, including research on pharmacological interventions and the underlying biological mechanisms. A significant portion of their research relates to ecological and evolutionary studies, particularly involving plant species diversity and taxonomy. The focus on intensive care and cardiology overlaps with clinical concerns regarding anesthesia, neurocognitive function, and surgical outcomes.
